Football Match Prediction Websites: The Review

When it comes to betting, who wouldn’t want to have a a little extra bit of inside information? The thing is many websites offering football predictions pretend to know more than what they actually know. It's hard to trust most of them mainly because some are in bed with the bookmakers and take a piece of the pie for themselves – your money.

The critera which I have taken into consideration for determining their trustworthiness is 1) transparency by means of displaying a history of the tips they have given 2) presence of a community which tells us that people already trust them to an extent and 3) well-run website which has all the necessary security information.

Here is a review of nine football prediction sites (based on proven results, nicely kept tip records and feedback):

1. Predictz.com

This is one of the more popular predictions sites out there – particularly popular in Nigeria. The site offers predictions of match outcomes and results. To help you determine whether they worth considering, there is a package of statistics, including team form, which are offered on the site.

2. Stakegains.com

In their words, Stakegains get a 95% success rate in guessing the outcome of a match which is suspicious to say the least. Apart from that, you get pretty much what other sites offer: form of the teams, odds, and a variety of tips.

Betensured claim they get 90% of the match outcomes correctly. They have a free plan which offers similar services to other sites, but they also offer risk management strategies and deeper analysis for a price. The site has a good design but is relatively poorly maintained as I stumbled upon broken pages.

Soccer Punter specialises in 1x2 football predictions. They have a system set up that allows their customers to receive reimbursements should a betting tip goes wrong. A community of tipsters bustle in the site which is quite handy because you can follow in the footsteps of some of the successful ones.
